Good time to visit

Average time to visit

November to March is the ideal time to visit weather wise. The very popular peak summer season from Christmas to mid-February gets booked up well in advance so best to plan early. During this period the whole place comes alive and there is a great party atmosphere. It is worth bearing in mind however that during the quieter season - including November, many of the area's bars and restaurants are closed which does tend to restrict eating options to your hotel.

Description

Estancia Vik is a superbly charismatic luxury ranch with the serious wow-factor located inland from the chic small village of Jose Ignacio on Uruguay's Atlantic coast. Excellent hospitality, contemporary design and excellent horse riding.

Just twelve vast suites, in a range of styles all individually designed by acclaimed local artists, provide state-of-the-art sleeping quarters, while the modern eclectic style of the rooms in the main house ensure that there is always something of interest. The estancia is filled with funky, contemporary, site-specific artwork also by Uruguayan artists which really enhances guests' experience of a given space. The living room is inspirational with a beautifully painted ceiling and walls dominated by eight enormous semi-precious Uruguayan geodes. Estancia Vik also boasts a fantastic indoor sauna and spa.

Outside a black granite pool and loungers are a great spot for relaxing, and options to experience outdoor living Uruguay-style abound. Polo, horse riding, long walks, surfing and golf are all easily arranged. The dunes and rollers of the Atlantic Ocean are approximately two kilometres away.

One of the highlights of staying here is the monumental parrilla, where huge steaks are grilled to perfection over a fire pit in a graffitied, Nissan-hut inspired room.

Activities

Activities at Estancia Vik include horseback riding, hiking, bird watching, mountain biking, polo, swimming, kayaking and canoeing. Guests can also use the facilities of nearby sister property, Playa Vik, which is located right on the coast in Jose Ignacio.

Amongst the green sprawl of the Jose Ignacio countryside, this Spanish-import to the Uruguayan luxury market offers a gentrified retreat with extensive art collection and bourgeoisie fantasy that make it one of the great South American resorts. It's owners operate a collection of small and medium-size hotels in the Canary Islands and Dominican Republic, but this is by far their best and most-personal hotel to date.

The south side of the Estancia boasts a large grassy polo fiel and 20-meter pool made of stone illuminated with fiber optic lights by night. A brick barreled dining room serves barbeque, fresh fish and seafood, locally grown fruits and vegetables and homemade breads and pastries.
